Abstract

The wing has a spoiler on its upper side with a flexible cover and at least one actuator (3) acting upon it to adaptively control shock waves by convex bulging of the covering. The actuator(s) provides the required length for the bulge (5) on the covering on the front edge (14) of the spoiler via a structural element and simultaneously acts upon the covering in such a way that the position of the bulge correlates with the position(s) of the actuator(s) for constant height. The actuator(s) provides the required length for the bulge (5) on the covering on the front edge (14) of the spoiler via a structural element and simultaneously acts upon the covering in such a way that the position of the bulge correlates with the position(s) of the actuator(s) for constant height.
